You should be at least at 400pg/ml or above. If below that then you need to supplement with active methylcobalamin daily.
2) this is pretty obvious, but are you on a statin for cholesterol?
Statins raise CPK.

I'm not on statins.
I'll ask about the B12 but would that explain the elevated muscle enzymes?
It sounded from my talk with the rheumatologist like the elevated muscle enzymes meant that there was definitely some kind of muscle disease, especially given that the CPK was so high.
Still, I'll definitely ask when I go in.
